"The more we 'communicate' the way we do, the more we create a hellish world," wrote the Parisian philosopher — also a historian of cybernetics —Jean-Pierre Dupuy

I take "hell" in its theological sense, i.e., a place which is void of grace— the undeserved, unnecessary, surprising, unforeseen. A paradox is at work here: ours is a world about which we pretend to have more and more information but which seems to us increasingly devoid of meaning.
